The Liebster Award

I have been nominated!

Hello Everyone! Today is a pretty special day as I have been nominated for The Liebster Award by the lovely Chloe Francis. So thanks again to her for nominating me!

The Leibster Award is aimed for new bloggers who have less than 200 followers, and it helps people to discover new blogs, so you can build up a wider audience.

The Rules of The Liebster Award:

1) You must link back to the person that nominated you

2) You must answer the 11 Liebster questions given to you by the nominee before you

3) You must pick 11 bloggers to be nominated for the award with under 200 followers

4) You must come up with 11 questions for your nominees to answer

Questions from Chloe Francis ..

1) You are only allowed to use one beauty product for the rest of your life - What is it?

It's a tough question but I would have to choose concealer because it is my best friend. It covers any imperfections, and wearing concealer alone, makes my skin look a lot more flawless. It just does the job I need it to do, and I couldn't live without it.
2) Where is your favourite holiday destination?

Portugal by far! I go there every year and it is just amazing, the weather is beautiful and the desinations on the Algarve we go to are gorgeous.
3) What is your favourite music album right now?

I've been loving all different types of songs recently, so I would have to say 'Now That's What I Call Music 85' because it features so many different varieties.
4) What was the first ever makeup product you owned?

If I remember rightly, when I was about 10, I got an eyeshadow set full of pink and purple colours.
5) What made you start blogging?

I had been watching Zoella, Tanya Burr and SprinkleOfGlitter on YouTube, and I had been reading their blogs for a while, and I thought it was a good idea to start one myself because it looked like a fun hobby and I quite like makeup and beauty related things.
6) Where do you want to be in 10 years time?

Hopefully doing something to do with the film/tv industry, whether it's infront of the camera, or behind the camera.
7) Where is your favourite place to shop?

For clothes, I would have to say Topshop, and for beauty products I would choose Boots.
8) What is your favourite movie?

My all time favourite films are the Harry Potter collection or LOL.
9) What is your favourite type of clothing?

Either Topshop, or atmosphere in Primark can have some very nice things.
10) The deal breaker question... Cats or Dogs?

I have to say Dogs because I'm allergic to Cats.

11) One random fact about yourself?

My random fact is that I'm not ticklish.

Summer Body Care Favourites

 This post is up earlier that usual because I'm off to Italy in a few hours! This week, I'd thought that I'd let you know some of my favourite summery/bodycare products that I have been loving and that I'll be using whilst I'm away.

The first item that I have been loving recently is the Rimmel London Glam'Eyes trio in '730 spices'. It's a trio of neutral eye-shadows that are perfect if you don't want a really bold look. I love this on summer days because it's natural, but you can still tell you're wearing eye-shadow. There's a very natural beige/pink colour, a none glittery gold shade and a light brown. They last all day and they are super pretty.

After a day in the sun, I like to put a bit of 'After Sun' on, to moisturize my body and to maintain any tan I get. For years I used the Garnier one and it's really good but it's not a spray one, it's cream which is a lot of effort. So I came across this Nivea one in Tesco and it's spray so I had to get it and it's so good! Does the job and it's super easy and quick to apply.

 This has got to be my favourite product to tell you about. The new Radox Berry Burst body wash. I got it for £1 which is a bargain anyway, but it smells absolutely amazing! It's like you've just been pelted with berries! It's nice and smooth on your skin and the fragrance is just so fruity, I just love it!
So if you haven't tried it, then please do.







When I go on holiday or just in the sun, my hair tends to go quite dry so I purchased the small Mark Hill Sunset Smoother After Sun Shampoo & Conditioner. (Only the conditioner is in the picture because I used up all the shampoo). For a first, the packaging is really bright so it stood out to me.
It soothes your hair and leaves it really hydrated although it does smell a bit strange, but it's alright because it does my hair a good job. I just think, if you're going on holiday then it's quite a good little purchase.

I always try new shampoo's because there I don't like to keep to the same routine all the time, it's nice to change. So a couple of weeks ago I picked the Herbal essences Dazzling Shine 2in1 shampoo and conditioner.
Even though it looks blue, it's yellow! Its a blue/green bottle and it's yellow inside.
My hair is a bit dry and damaged from heat and when I use this, it leaves my hair feeling really smooth and soft! It's a miracle for me, it just feels really nice to put on and my hair just feels and looks so much less damaged! I love it and would seriously recommend it.





Because I loved the 2in1 shampoo and conditioner so much, I thought I would also go and buy the Herbal Essence Dazzling Shine Conditioner. Some people might think that's a bit strange because the other one is a 2in1 but the ends of my hair are dry so I needed a good conditioner as well.
This is just as amazing as the 2in1 shampoo & conditioner except that the conditioner smells a bit different. Even though the smell isn't too appealing, my hair feels brilliant after using as it. It just feels and looks much more hydrated and healthy.

For summer McDonalds have brought back their iced smoothies. The flavours are 'strawberry and banana' or 'mango and pineapple'. Even though they don't usually appeal to me, I decided to get one. I got the strawberry and banana one and it was so nice! It's only £1.99 and it's really refreshing and cool. So if you're out in town and need something to cool to refresh you, then you should get one of these.

The Rainbow Beauty Tag

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while, but I have been so busy lately! So today's post is a new beauty tag called #TheRainbowTag. Where you use colours from the rainbow and say your favourite beauty product of that colour. Now as I was choosing products, I realized I don't have anything that is Indigo, so I replaced Indigo with purple.

So the first colour is RED. I chose my BaByliss Curling Wand. This is really easy to use and it's quite cheap. I like it because you can use it to do loose curls, or tight. Also, you can change the temperature of the wand. The only bad thing is that it doesn't have a clamp, so you do have to hold your hair.

 Next is YELLOW, I picked my L'OREAL paris, ELVIVE- Repairing Shampoo. I purchased this about a month ago, and I've used it every time I washed my hair since. It's amazing and smells gorgeous. It leaves your hair feeling soft and I like it because it doesn't leave your hair knotty.

 So for PINK, I couldn't choose between these two Lush products. But as I love them both, I have added them both. They are the Lush Bubblegum flavoured Lip Scrub, and The Melting Marshmallow Moment bath bomb. Now they smell amazing, the nicest things I've ever smelt! So basically you rub the lip scrub on your lips and it leaves them really soft and then my favourite bit, you can lick the rest of your lips because it's sugar. The bath bomb smells exactly the same, and it just looks like a big marshmallow, and it turns the bath pink. If you haven't tried them, then you should.


For GREEN, I picked the BarryM Nail Paint in shade 304- Mint Green. I adore this colour because it's great for summer. You do have to put a few coats of it on to get the full colour, but it's lovely and looks so nice when you have a tan!


So for ORANGE, I picked my Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara in Black. This mascara is really good because the brush is so big. It gives my eyes good definition and it lasts for ages. I have re-purchased this 3 times now.

 For PURPLE, I have two products because I couldn't chose. So I picked TRESemme Superior Hold Hairspray. This is a great hairspray and doesn't leave my hair crispy. But the best thing about it is the smell, it's the nicest smelling hairspray ever, it's just gorgeous.

I also got stuck picking for BLUE, so I have two of these as well. I have one of  Topshop's Nail Varnish's in the shade 'AirKisses.' I wrote about this in my Topshop haul which you should check out because I gave a review about it. The colour is so bright and looks great. And I wore it for a whole week without it chipping! The scond BLUE product is the Jack Wills, Ladies Luxury Body Wash in English Velvet. This smells so nice, and it's nearly all gone now:( It isn't too dear and it's just lovely.

The last product is the RAINBOW coloured product. I have chosen one of  The Body Shop's body washes. I got the Love Etc. one and it smells delightful, girly and floral but now over powering. I put it in the Rainbow colour because it has loads of upside hearts in different colours all over it. I only got the tester size which is small and only 60ml, but I take it with me when I go travelling and it's great, I would definitely go and get a bigger one.


So that is my Rainbow Beauty Tag complete. I hope you enjoyed reading about some of my favourite products. If you have done this tag comment below, or just leave your opinion below. Thanks

Primark Holiday Haul! Part 1 For Portugal

So if you haven't guessed yet, this is my Primark Holiday Haul. So this is what I have bought over my last 2 trips to Primark for my holiday in a couple of weeks time. By all means, i'm NOT trying to brag, I just thought i'd let you know what I have bought because Primark isn't available online, so by people like myself showing you some clothes and accessories, you might spot something you like, also Primark is fairly cheap it's not like i'm doing a haul about loads of stuff from *insert dear high end clothes hop*, haha. Enjoy.

So I was a little naughty.

If you haven't figured out yet, I have a slight obsession with aztec print. So the first thing I purchased was this nude and black coloured aztec print bikini. It's from the Ocean Club section in Primark, which is basically all the holiday stuff. It was only £4 and I think it's just cute.

 Next thing I bought are these red and white wedged flip-flops. I really wanted the navy blue and white ones but the past three times I've been there, they haven't had my size so I just got the red ones. I just quite fancied ones with a bit of a wedge and they were only £3. Also, they're really comfy.
This dress, is probably one of my favourite summer buys. As some of you may know, I'm not usually a dress person but I really liked it. I have seen quite a few people with these dresses on and they just look so nice. Its a stretchy bodycon dress that goes just past the knees, it's tight but stretchy and it shows your figure nicely. I got in a nude and blue/grey aztec print. I think on holiday, I could wear it in the day time or dress it up at night. This type of dress is available in loads of shops but the main reason I bought it off Primark, is that I liked the pattern and it was only £10, which is really good because the quality is good for that price.

I then and purchased two loose fitting crop tops. Mainly because they are nice to just throw over a bikini on holiday, but also, in the summer I like to wear them with high waisted shorts. I got a plain khaki army coloured one that was only £3. Then I picked up a Disney Mickey Mouse one, which has a grey background with Mickey & Minnie mouse all over it, that was £6 but it is really cute and I can't wait to wear it.

I got these shorts. I got them in grey and burgundy. They were £3 each and are really good value. I would just wear them in the day time on holiday and sometimes I just wear shorts like this around the house because they are really comfy. If you haven't got a pair of these then seriously you should try them.

I also just picked up some footless sock things. I'm not too sure what you call them, but I like to wear them with vans because it still looks like your not wearing socks, but it saves you getting blisters. I got 2 pairs for £1.30.



The second to last thing I picked up, was these sunglasses. Last year, I bought these but in brown and I constantly wore them, so when I saw them back in stock then I went and got another pair. They are great because they block the sun (obviously) and you can still see through them easily. They are only £2, which is a great bargain.

So the last thing I purchased was the white/beige and black aztec print bag. Obviously because I needed a bag, then I had to choose the aztec one. I was looking for quite a big-ish bag because I wanted to use it as an 'aeroplane bag' to use for my upcoming holidays. So when I saw this, with it's lovely print I had to have it. It has a long strap so you can wear it on your shoulder and short straps to wear it on your arms. It was only £10 and it is just perfect and is exactly what I was looking for. So when you see my blog about my holiday, you'll bound to see a picture of it because I know that I will get a lot of use out of it.

Make-Up..March Favourites

After thinking of what to blog about, I decided that it's only a couple of days into April so I would do a blog of the make-up products that I have loved the most in March.

So, i have chosen the five products that I have loved the most, so here they are : 

First of all is the M.A.C Plush Lash Mascara, which was around £15. M.A.C isn't the cheapest brand but the all their products are of high quality. I got given this mascara as a gift and it's a great mascara that gives a good even coverage on your eyelashes. I have this mascara in black but I think this would also look really good in a brown/black shade because it whether you have a lot of it on or just a thin coat it looks lovely and stays quite well. Also, it stays on all day without smudging! It has a large 'fat' brush, that gives your eyelashes good length but it isn't clumpy, even though it has a big brush, it's easy to apply and doesn't smudge underneath your eyes!  Also, it is quite easy to remove with a normal make up wipe.

The second product that I have chosen is the CLINIQUE  Chubby Stick. They are around £10-£15 depending from where you get it from. Now I've never really been a lipstick lover, but when lipstick brands started bringing out nude colours, I started to like them. I get dry lips quite often and I never found a lipstick that would moisturize and have a great colour until I saw this. I'd heard a lot about these Chubby Sticks so I went and purchased one in the shade 06 Woppin' Watermelon. It is literally amazing. It's a baby pink shade but it doesn't make your lips really light, like a barbie doll, just a bit lighter, a nice shade. The best thing about this product is the fact that it moisturizes really well! It's not glossy, just matte but with a slight shine, which is good and it's highly pigmented which lasts throughout the day. Finally, because it is shaped like a crayon, then it is easy and quick to apply. If you haven't tried one of these, then I urge you too! It's a must have! And it comes in many different colours.

Another item that I have been loving lately is the Jack Wills Ladies Fragrance Rollerball. This mini perfume, fits great into your handbag and it smells amazing. I bought mine for £14.50. I find it hard to describe scents but it's just lovely, it's kind of flowery and girly but it's not that strong and over-powering it is just enough and I suppose it has a vintage side to it as well. You should go and try it because I have hopeless at describing things well! There is a slight difference between this one and another one, this one has blue writing on the box and there is another Jack Wills perfume with pink writing on the box, which isn't as nice because to me it was too over powering, but the one I have is called 'Fontwell Rollerball Scent' if that is any help? I came across this in the a Jack Wills shop, so I don't know if you can get it on the website, but I'm sure you can. Anyway it smells lovely and will be nice to wear as it is spring because it is a light perfume that just smells gorgeous. 

Now this product, is a little handy thing that I thought I would add in, even though I've had it for a couple of months now, it is the AVON Perfect Eyebrow Pencil. I think it was around £3 which is a bargain. I think this is a great product because it has an eyebrow pencil one end and a brush on the other, so it's 2 in 1. I have this in the shade 'Blonde' because I'm blonde, (obviously aha) and it's perfect, I don't draw on my eyebrows completely  I only touch them up and fill in gaps and it does a really good job, I now use it daily.

Last but certainly not least on my March Beauty Favourites is the L'OREAL Paris Super Liner, Ultra Precision Eyeliner. I draw on my eye liner daily and out of all the liquid eyeliners that I have tried, this is one of the best. Its like a thin felt tip, and it's soft which makes it even easier to apply. I don't usually have a thick line of eyeliner, but this can do any.. it's easy for a thin line or a thick. I like black eyeliners and its high pigmented and looks fab, it doesn't smudge and it lasts all day.  It is easy to remove as well, which is a good thing. The price of this eyeliner is around £7-£8 pound and I suppose that is kind a bit pricey for a high street (drug store) brand, but it is definitely worth it.  

Well, they have been my favourite make up products this past month. I hope you have enjoyed reading this, please let me know (by commenting)  if you have tried these products or if there is any products that you think I should try!
